Only one main bearing should be selectively fitted
while all other main bearing caps are properly tight-
ened. All bearing capbolts removed during service pro-
cedures are to be cleaned and oiled before installation.
When installing a new upper bearing shell, slightly
chamfer the sharp edges from the plain side.
(1) Start bearing in place, and insert Crankshaft
Main Bearing Remover/Installer Tool C-3059 into oil
hole of crankshaft (Fig. 58).
(2) Slowly rotate crankshaft counterclockwise slid-
ing the bearing into position. Remove Tool C-3059.
(3)
Install the bearing caps. Clean and oil the bolts.
Tighten the capbolts to 115 N´m (85 ft. lbs.) torque.
(4) Install the oil pump.
(5) Install the oil pan.
(6) Start engine check for leaks.
DISTRIBUTOR DRIVE SHAFT BUSHING
REMOVAL
(1) Remove distributor, refer to Group 8D, Ignition
Systems for the proper procedure.
(2) Remove the intake manifold. Refer to Intake
Manifold in this section for correct procedure.
(3) Insert Distributor Drive Shaft Bushing Puller
Tool C-3052 into old bushing and thread down until a
tight fit is obtained (Fig. 59).
(4) Hold puller screw and tighten puller nut until
bushing is removed.
INSTALLATION
(1) Slide new bushing over burnishing end of Dis-
tributor Drive Shaft Bushing Driver/Burnisher Tool
C-3053. Insert the tool and bushing into the bore.
(2) Drive bushing and tool into position, using a
hammer (Fig. 60).
(3) As the burnisher is pulled through the bushing,
the bushing is expanded tight in the block and bur-
nished to correct size (Fig. 61).DO NOT ream this
bushing.CAUTION: This procedure MUST be followed when
installing a new bushing or seizure to shaft may
occur.
(4) Install the intake manifold.
DISTRIBUTOR INSTALLATION
NOTE: Before installing the distributor, the oil
pump drive shaft must be aligned to number one
cylinder.
(1) Rotate crankshaft until No.1 cylinder is at top
dead center on the firing stroke.
(2) When in this position, the timing mark of
vibration damper should be under ª0º on the timing
indicator.
(3) Install the shaft so that after the gear spirals
into place, it will index with the oil pump shaft. The
slot on top of oil pump shaft should be aligned
towards the left front intake manifold attaching bolt
hole (Fig. 62).
(4) Install distributor, refer to Group 8D, Ignition
Systems for the proper procedure.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine (6) To align the bearing cap, use cap slot, align-
ment dowel and cap bolts. DO NOT remove excess
material after assembly. DO NOT strike rear cap
more than 2 times for proper engagement.

squeezed out. Withdraw nozzle and wipe excess seal-
ant off the oil pan seal groove.
(10) Immediately install the oil pan.
LOWER SEAL
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the oil pan.
(2) Remove the oil pump from the rear main bear-
ing cap.
(3) Remove the rear main bearing cap and discard
the old lower seal.
INSTALLATION
(1) Clean the rear main cap mating surfaces
including the oil pan gasket groove.
(2) Carefully install a new upper seal (refer to
Upper Seal Replacement - Crankshaft Installed pro-
cedure above).
(3) Lightly oil the new lower seal lips with engine
oil.
(4) Install a new lower seal in bearing cap with
the white paint facing the rear of engine.
(5) Apply 5 mm (0.20 in) drop of MopartGasket
Maker, or equivalent, on each side of the rear main
bearing cap (Fig. 71). DO NOT over apply sealant or
allow the sealant to contact the rubber seal. Assem-
ble bearing cap to cylinder block immediately after
sealant application.
(6) To align the bearing cap, use cap slot, align-
ment dowel and cap bolts. DO NOT remove excess
material after assembly. DO NOT strike rear cap
more than 2 times for proper engagement.
(7) Install the rear main bearing cap with cleaned
and oiled cap bolts. Alternately tighten the cap bolts
to 115 N´m (85 ft. lbs.) torque.
(8) Install oil pump.
(9) Apply MopartSilicone Rubber Adhesive Seal-
ant, or equivalent, at bearing cap to block joint to
provide cap to block and oil pan sealing (Fig. 72).

ant off the oil pan seal groove.
(10) Immediately install the oil pan.
ENGINE CORE OIL AND CAMSHAFT PLUGS
Engine core plugs have been pressed into the oil
galleries behind the camshaft thrust plate (Fig. 73).
This will reduce internal leakage and help maintain
higher oil pressure at idle.
REMOVAL
(1) Using a blunt tool such as a drift or a screw-
driver and a hammer, strike the bottom edge of the
cup plug (Fig. 74).
(2) With the cup plug rotated, grasp firmly with
pliers or other suitable tool and remove plug (Fig.
74).
INSTALLATION
Thoroughly clean inside of cup plug hole in cylin-
der block or head. Be sure to remove old sealer.
Be certain the new plug is cleaned of all oil or
grease.
(1) Coat edges of plug and core hole with Mopart
Gasket Maker, or equivalent.
CAUTION: DO NOT drive cup plug into the casting,
as restricted coolant flow can result and cause seri-
ous engine problems.
(2) Using proper plug drive, drive cup plug into
hole. The sharp edge of the plug should be at least
0.50 mm (0.020 in.) inside the lead-in chamfer.
(3) It is not necessary to wait for curing of the
sealant. The cooling system can be filled and the
vehicle placed in service immediately.

VALVE SERVICE
VALVE GUIDES
Measure valve stem guide clearance as follows:
(1) Install Valve Guide Sleeve Tool C-3973 over
valve stem and install valve (Fig. 75). The special
sleeve places the valve at the correct height for
checking with a dial indicator.(2) Attach Dial Indicator Tool C-3339 to cylinder
head and set it at right angle of valve stem being
measured (Fig. 76).
(3) Move valve to and from the indicator. The total
dial indicator reading should not exceed 0.432 mm
(0.017 inch). Ream the guides for valves with over-
size stems if dial indicator reading is excessive or if
the stems are scuffed or scored.
(4) Service valves with oversize stems are avail-
able as shown below.
(5) Slowly turn reamer by hand and clean guide
thoroughly before installing new valve.Ream the
valve guides from standard to 0.381 mm (0.015
inch). Use a 2 step procedure so the valve
guides are reamed true in relation to the valve
seat:
²Step 1ÐReam to 0.0763 mm (0.003 inch).
²Step 2ÐReam to 0.381 mm (0.015 inch).

cations, inspect for worn engine bearings or other
reasons for oil pressure loss.
CYLINDER BLOCK
CLEANING
Clean cylinder block thoroughly and check all core
hole plugs for evidence of leaking.
INSPECTION
Examine block for cracks or fractures.
The cylinder walls should be checked for out-of-
round and taper with Cylinder Bore Indicator Tool
C-119. The cylinder block should be bored and honed
with new pistons and rings fitted if:
²The cylinder bores show more than 0.127 mm
(0.005 inch) out-of-round.²The cylinder bores show a taper of more than
0.254 mm (0.010 inch).
²The cylinder walls are badly scuffed or scored.
Boring and honing operation should be closely coor-
dinated with the fitting of pistons and rings so spec-
ified clearances may be maintained.
Refer to Standard Service Procedures in the begin-
ning of this Group for the proper honing of cylinder
bores.
INTAKE MANIFOLD
CLEANING
Clean manifold in solvent and blow dry with com-
pressed air.
Clean cylinder block front and rear gasket surfaces
using a suitable solvent.
The plenum pan rail must be clean and dry (free of
all foreign material).
INSPECTION
Inspect manifold for cracks.
Inspect mating surfaces of manifold for flatness
with a straightedge.
EXHAUST MANIFOLD
CLEANING
Clean mating surfaces on cylinder head and mani-
fold, wash with solvent and blow dry with com-
pressed air.
INSPECTION
Inspect manifold for cracks, Inspect mating sur-
faces of manifold for flatness with a straight edge.
Seal surfaces must be flat within 0.1 mm (0.004 inch)
overall.
